Making a Non Profit
Whenever we introduce ourselves as a Non for profit organization or For Impact organization people feels hard to understand, why we do this way, how we make money, or what are nonprofits in general. We made this small doc to help you understand a bit.
What is a Non-Profit Organisation
A non for profit organization is an entity that is working for the impact in the society that they are part of. This doesn't mean NPOs shouldn't make any profits from their activities but they should re-invest the leftover money/profit into the cause they are working on, Simply put the promoters can't take home any money when the org has balance.
